I use Remington cases as the Winchesters are too thin in the web area. CCI BR4 primers, Hornady or Nosler 40 V-Max/Ballistic Tips, no difference on the target and 12 grs of W296. Bullets are sitter at the lands. This load is for my Ruger No1B 26" barrel. Pact chrony claims right around 3000 fps...

Canuck Bob There are many versions of the " improved" Hornet. There was an article in Shooting Times list a few versions. I found these in the Cartridge Conversions book. In reality there is not much different between any of them. The original Kilbourn has a .278" neck. Harvey Kay-Chu...

Ok. Here is how I resize pictures in Photoshop. This is on PS CS5 but most commands are the same all the way back to Photoshop 5. Other programs tend to work the same way. These are just screen shots that were resized the same way just not as much. I selected a random picture and the following scree...

The simpler the background the less the memory required. Also watch the pixel per inch as well. I used 96 per inch...

Neighbor has 2 and sponsors more. They are great dogs. Tend to be a bit timid at the beginning but usually quiet and inquisitive. Murder on cats and squirrels or other small animals. Love to run and need space to run. Fenced yard or fenced dog park is suggested.

Bad bonding of the nickel to the steel and/or the pressure in the cylinder is expanding the metal just enough to debond the plating?

I currently have a 6mm PPC gun, it will shoot 3/8" groups all day. Fun to shoot? Yes at times but the ammo build time can get in the way. I have a 35 year old Ruger M77V (" but Rugers aren't accurate " :roll: ) in 6mm Rem that cloverleafs on good days and stays under 1/2" on bad...

He lives not too far from me. I have been following in the papers the court case.

If you wear glasses and have to put safety glasses on top of them then there are NO binos that will work.
If you do not require corrective glasses then yes a better set of binos would be an asset.

First four of ? Numbers. May I suggest you go to Savage99.com. Lots of info and links. The serial number lookup is a bit weird but that is also due to the way Savage released the numbers during production. The letter code is difficult to read on some guns, use a magnifier it will help.

One thing we had to do was bevel the area that the primer actuator rod sweeps by on the casting. Kept hitting the edge and spitting out the primer due to the erratic action. Also glued a extension on the top back edge of the used primer catch can. The primers tended to land on the edge of the can an...

A Marlin 1893 TD made in 1896 28" octagon barrel and full mag in .30 WCF. After that a Win 92 pre WW1 in .25 WCF. Both are shooters.

I cannot complain too much about the barrel. It has pits and worn lands but with lead it does pretty well. With hardball, forget it. The bullets just spit out the barrel and go where ever they want. They are not tumbling but likely pretty close to it. The load was 5.0gr of Universal Clays behind a 2...

Went down to the indoor range last night and a buddy and I rang in the New Year. Used a WW2 1911A1 with its worn out barrel and had some FUN! It is no race gun, but I am happy with the outcome.

They had a kind of "swab" soaked with water they ran down the bore after shooting and before loading again. They said it's purpose was to put-out any possible fire remaining from the patch of the previous fired load. Can you imagine, in the heat of war, failing to use this and ram the loa...

Handguns have been registered since 1934 in Canada. In 1995 they made it prohibited to own under 105mm barrelled guns and calibers under 380 Auto. It is also illegal to have the said ammo in your possession! For example all the WW2 Lugers instantly had ZERO value in Canada and anything else as well....

All the long guns are OK. The air rifle may get in without PAL if under 500FPS. The handguns with barrel lengths under 105mm are prohibited. Anything that shoots pistol cartridges that are under 380 Auto are prohibited except 22rimfire. Therefore 1911 4 inch barrel in .45 ACP, with .22lr conversion ...

You can turn the LPs at 45 rpm and then stretch the music back to 33 1/3 rpm in the computer. Makes the job a little faster but you can't enjoy the songs that way.
